    Have an option in AF Security to not pass down database security to newly created objects

    Use case: We want to give a user read access to a single element. All future elements created inherit the Database level Security, meaning the user will also have read access to all future created elements.

    Hide Certain PI Point Attributes from Users

    Implement a way to hide the contents of a PI point attribute, specifically the Instrumenttag attribute. With many PI interfaces, the InstrumentTag attribute will store the IP address of the source, and we (as well as many other utilities) have a r...

    User rights for viewing analytics

    In many cases analytics should not be visible to everyone having right to view an AF-Database. Should be possible to direct whom should have view access to analytics. This is an extension to the obivious right to change analytics :)

    Filter expression '<tagname>'="string" syntax should allow wildcards

    Performance Equations syntax for filtering in SMT and Datalink should allow wildcards for strings: For instance, ''="*substring*" interprets the * as a literal character rather than as a wildcard. To achieve the desired filter, it is currently po...

    Clearly label or group together obsolete/deprecated/legacy features

    Rearrange the Archive tab in the Point Builder to reflect the relationship between settings

    If the Compressing attribute of a PI Point is set to Off, then the compression settings are greyed out, which makes sense because they are irrelevant if Compressing is Off. However, if a PI Point has its Archiving attribute set to Off, nothing is ...
